This week I have been interviewing applicants for the Sudan Project. It has been exciting to hear the passion and desire that God’s people have to serve him in this way. Unfortunately, there are only 2-3 spots and of course we have more applicants than we have spots. My goal is to make sure that we have the right skill sets in our team members so that we are as successful as possible with this project.
Aside from me and Pastor Julius, we have 2 spots that need to be filled. The first is our medical spot. This person needs to care for the health and well-being of the team. The medical position is the most important position on the team to ensure that team members have the right vaccines and safe health practices before, during and after the trip. I am excited to announce that Darwin Gramstad will be joining the team in this important role. Darwin is not only a skilled nurse but he went on the previous trip we took in 2010 so he has an experienced understanding of the needs and challenges facing the team.

The next spot is the mechanical, hands on person that can do everything from vehicle maintenance, mechanical repairs (borehole) and continue our agricultural farming demonstrations. It’s a tall order but we found the man for the job. Shane Copeland is a jack of all trades. He owns the Napa Service Center here in town and has an ability to learn and adapt quickly. Shane will keep us going and will immerse himself in the Farming God’s Way training materials so he can continue that training effort in Kalalayi.

We still have one spot left and more applicants to interview. The final team member should be added by tomorrow some time. I’ll keep you posted!
